Fisker Automotive Recruits First North American Retailers to Represent Premium
Green Brand

IRVINE, Calif., March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Premium green automaker Fisker
Automotive has appointed its first group of North American retailers to market
and service its luxury plug-in hybrid vehicles, beginning with the $87,900,
100mpg Karma sedan later this year. Thirty-two award-winning retailers have
confirmed their intent to carry the Fisker marquee. The number puts the
carmaker close to its goal of having 40 locations across the country by the
end of June 2009.

All Fisker retailers are well-established operations familiar with premium
brands, new technology and discerning clientele. Many are family-owned, each
is active in giving back to their communities, and all understand the need to
offer premium customers a vehicle that reduces environmental impact. A full
list can be found at www.fiskerautomotive.com

Fisker Board member Vic Doolan has been instrumental in guiding development of
the company's retail network. Doolan led BMW NA and Volvo Cars NA to record
sales in the 1990s and 2000s, and in so doing built solid relationships with
top retail principals. "Our retail partners are our most important assets,"
he said. "To our customers, they are the face of the company. For that
reason, we've chosen those who will give Fisker owners the comfort and
confidence to drive the future."

By keeping startup costs low and not requiring floor-planning beyond
demonstrator and display cars, Fisker is able to attract new franchises even
in tough economic times. President Obama's recent pledge of $2.4B to support
development of plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery technology is added
incentive.

Fisker showrooms will reflect the company's concern for the environment and
their vehicles' emission free capabilities. "They will be Eco-facilities, not
Ego-facilities," Doolan said. Architecture calls for natural and sustainable
materials like wood and textiles. An available solar-powered car port can
keep demonstrator vehicles clean, dry, fully charged and ready to go.
